The zoo is the foreign diplomatic corps in the city lobbying to the plight of their constituencies in the wild. So go to the zoo, see them, think about conservation efforts in the much larger reserves
Bigger than we expected, somewhat confusing maps but a great day out - just amble and take in the experience. Lots of rare and unusual animals I've never heard of, and the kids gave it a thumbs up.
Looking bit worse for wear but there is construction going on - so here's to hoping. Still a cool experience - long slow walk through a pretty interesting use of urban land. Picnic. Wear comfy shoes!
Parked outside the Zoo and the car guard asked for R50 to watch the car. No chance! Tell them you will give them something when you get back so as to ensure they are there when you get back
